Galatasaray will do battle on Thursday as they prepare for their approaching Europa League fixture versus Ajax.
Our Ajax v Galatasaray tips, poll and stats can be seen in full below - as well as up-to-date odds.
Ajax will be hoping to bounce back here following the 1-0 Europa League loss in their previous game against FK RFS.
In that game, Ajax managed 69% possession and 13 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. RFS had 7 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Adam Markhiev (78') scored for FK RFS.
Fewer than three goals per match were recorded in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Ajax have taken part. Regarding the goal attribution from this period, opposition teams scored a total of 4 while Ajax managed a tally of 8. We shall soon find out if that trend will be continued on into this next match.
Galatasaray will go into this clash following on from a 1-0 Super Lig win with the defeat of Konyaspor in their most recent outing.
In that game, Galatasaray had 59% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 9 on target. The scorer for Galatasaray was Victor Osimhen (22'). At the other end, Konyaspor got 7 shots at goal with 0 of them on target.
Looking at their form, and Galatasaray have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 7 goals in total. At the back, Galatasaray just haven’t been too solid at all.
Amourricho Van Axel-Dongen (Ankle injury) and Owen Wijndal (Knee injury) are not available for Ajax manager Francesco Farioli.
It seems likely that de Godenzonen may well use the 4-3-3 system for this one, beginning the first half with Remko Pasveer, Anton Gaaei, Josip Sutalo, Youri Baas, Jorrel Hato, Kenneth Taylor, Jordan Henderson, Steven Berghuis, Bertrand Traore, Wouter Weghorst and Mika Godts.
Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Kerem Demirbay (Groin injury) and Mauro Icardi (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.
We reckon that Cimbom seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out N. Fernando Muslera, Kaan Ayhan, Davinson Sánchez, Abdlkerim Bardakci, Ismail Jakobs, Berkan Kutlu, Lucas Torreira, Yunus Akgün, Dries Mertens, Baris Yilmaz and Victor Osimhen.
In our opinion, Galatasaray and Ajax could both well score more than once here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.
While there should be goals at both ends, it’s too close to call. Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 2-2 score draw when the referee blows the final whistle.
Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
